make a pest a pet

Juno nominees were announced yesterday… sometimes somewhat exciting although this year Nickelback *cough* leads the nominations *sob*. I’m not the biggest Nickelback fan. I admit, I did enjoy the days of Esher and Curb in the 90s but since then there’s not too much to get excited about (or appreciate).
Canadians were great in the 90s… although remnants of what I would call great bands are still around… in some form. Age of Electric, Limblifter, Moist, Our Lady Peace (god bless’em for firing Bob Rock),
I Mother Earth (with Edwin), The Odds and of course the Matthew Good Band. i say remnant meaning, various members of those groups are still active ie. members of Age of Electric are now in other bands like the New Pornographers. etc. etc.
Anne and I must have gone to a
billion concerts a month… although I’m omitting the names of punk/ska bands(since the theme here is canadian content), that time period reminds me of Less than Jake… we were definately into different styles and you could always count on anne losing a shoe in the pit. david hawks’ modern rock circus, warped tour, edgefest, tiny lil shows, free concerts at SFU and CBC plaza, the CCC and being a music-lovin’ teenager growing up in Vancouver… fun times.
